In Mood (psychology) there is a sentence saying:"Good mood is usually considered a displaced state; people cannot pinpoint exactly why they are in a good mood." I wonder about the expression displaced state. What does it mean exactly? Lova Falk talk 07:54, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
There is a proper phrase for this idea. Most emotions are about something, one is angry about being cut off in traffic. Moods aren't "about" anything, although we may be aware of what brought them on. Probably find something in Descartes' Error or another work by Antonio Damasio. μηδείς ( talk) 17:25, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
I took some photos of some buildings. But what are the Chinese characters appearing in the following?

Another one: Yit Ing Ho has Chinese characters, but which ones are they? Thanks WhisperToMe ( talk) 16:16, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Another Mandarin question: In File:Chinatown2.JPG What is the Chinese for "Southwest Heart Clinic"? And would one be able to tell the characters for "Lucky Pot" from that distance? On the door of Suite 150 (next to the "老地方") there are some more Chinese characters. What are those characters? WhisperToMe ( talk) 23:50, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
